SUMMARY This happens sometimes when: - I enter name of application in KRunner dialog and press Enter, - double-click on freshly appeared image file in Krusader window to open GWenView. After that icon of starting application near mouse is shown and only after 3-5 seconds window of application appears. If I close application window and try to start it again then this time it shows instantly. I can interrupt that 3-5 second delay before start: I must click mouse somewhere. This problem I first noticed in KUbuntu 19.04 (plasma 5.17.1). Now I have freshly (no settings migrated) installed KUbuntu 19.10 and mentioned problem remains. OBSERVED RESULT Delay before start. EXPECTED RESULT Instant start. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.04

Oops, I must have been on the wrong tab and marked the wrong bug as a dupe. Thanks for catching that, my bad.
Possibly a KRun issue. Moving to KIO.
Typically an app being started for the first time will take slightly more time than subsequent ones because of memory and disk caches that the Kernel use. (When you close an app it's not purged from memory immediately, it's only purged when that memory is needed by something else).
